• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

This may not seem like a big concern to some, but please be praying for me. I am taking an introduction to New Testament Greek and I am asking that you would pray that I remember what I have studied. This test has got me a little nervous.... I'll update afterwards. :groupray:

Sounds tough. :pray:

Also, to add an update on my sister. She is going through chemo to make sure the cancer doesn't return. She is doing well, even though the chemo makes her very ill for days after each treatment. She had one of the last 2 painful treatments today and the last one next one in two weeks. She will have four more, but they aren't bad like the past few have been.

Thanks for everyones prayers.

Sheesh, for Greek, that sounds great to me. :)

LoL... it isn't a bad grade, but I want to make the dean's list and get at least a 3.75 GPA. It may seem like a high goal, but a friend told me that I was called to "Complete my education with zeal!" Of course by the way he is living I wonder what he means by "complete". He seems like he never stops going to school.

Congrats on the test, even if it wasn't as good as you wanted. At least you passed (which is more than I would probably do :p ). Your friend sound like one of my sister's old boyfriends. A professional student.

Please pray for my husband as he has suffered his third layoff. The last job brought us to Colorado, a thousand miles from family. We had to file bankruptcy before we moved, and 6 months ago were able to buy a home. Now, if he doesn't get a job soon, we'll have to try to sell this house or walk away from it and lose everything. Please pray that he finds a job he'll love and that will support our family. My health is poor and I can no longer teach because of the stress it puts on my body. Our medicine bill alone is $1100 for three months WITH insurance, which will end soon. I shudder to think what it is without insurance. Please pray for us.
:pray: :prayer: :cry: :( :help:

Father,

Thank you that you have given Jam the wisdom to turn to You in this time of need. She may feel that there's no one else to help... show her differently, but help her to know that it's You who is always with her in every situation.

Lead Jam's husband to a job, more wonderful than he could imagine. And also touch each family member physically, mentally and spiritually.

Grant Your wisdom and Your peace.

In Jesus' Name.

:amen:
